[SNIP] George Stephanopoulos: Well, I have the president’s certificate right here. It’s certified, it’s got a certification number. It’s got the registrar of the state signed. It’s got a seal on it. And it says “this copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”
Bachmann: Well, then that should settle it.
Stephanopoulos: So it’s over?
Bachmann: That’s what should settle it. I take the president at his word and I think– again I would have no problem and apparently the president wouldn’t, either. Introduce that, we’re done. Move on.
We've got M. Bachman, with an egg-shell thin veneer with the right, and pretty much in S. Palin's ballpark on the left.
M. Bachman simply could not afford the fight "the trumpster" could - and is - making.
I would give anything to see if little georgy-peorgy has the cajones to sit with "the trumpster" and pull that hokey document gag. I believe "the trumpster" would make little georgy eat it!!
Exactly. And she's just not making it the top priority right now, while the country circles the drain economically, our troops are tied down in three regional wars, and hundreds jump our southern "border" daily.
True enough. I decided early on that this was an issue for the states to decide and harassing US congressmen over it is foolish.
I agree-and why should she tell the truth about what she REALLY thinks?
We have to play the game like they do; why do we have to be the honest ones? We know she’s ok and we know what she stands for, so she was right to not give him a sound bite-which would have been the ONLY thing to come out of this conversation.
With this crowd, we need to learn that we can’t put all our cards on the table...
Good post. That should settle it...
@#$%%&!!!
Yes, OK - but the 'fact of birth' was never in question. He was obviously born.
But it does not say where, and Bachman is obviously not aware that people who were not born there could get a COLB in Hawaii. In the middle 1900's that is the only way immigrants could go to school in Hawaii, etc etc
Of course Barry has a birf certificate- Steffie saw it on the internet! Official seal and all.
It sounds to me that Stephie said “all in” and Michelle called his bluff.
I don’t think any of us have seen any cards but the next move is not Michelle’s. It’s Stephie’s ..... or Barry’s.
And it does not have a signature stephie, girl
So sayeth Bachmann.
You have just lost my vote.
(Actually, you never had it...but...)
The blind naiveté in that statement is the precise reason you do not need to be considered for the Presidency, Ms Bachmann.
It is evident to anyone, even us poor dumb asses in the hinterland, that obama is a lying, socialistic, moslim POS and his treasonous actions have damaged this country, nearly to the point of no return.
Rather than meekly acquiescing to the POS's PR power players, you should be standing on a soap box, ideally one taller than Trump's, and shouting your doubt to the world.
But you won't, simply because you are Republican-lite, meek and thoroughly cowed by the obama machine.
We are in trouble.....
Well.
Perhaps. Seems to this poster, the emperor has no clothes, and the entire GOP establishment is afraid to say so.
It becomes so frustrating watching GOP milquetoast in “action”. While liberals just pound away.
Liberals long ago discovered than getting riled is what gets votes. Trump is showing the GOP right now, if they would please open their eyes and notice.
Ms Bachmann is doing herself no favors by being timid and so-carefully couching her answers, IMHO.
Nobody wants timid right now. Timid is not going to fix what is wrong.
While all the airtime is wasted on this issue that isn’t going to be readily resolved. We have marxists gathering to march in the streets, teachers teaching marxism in the schools, and a president and friends setting up a war against Israel.
The eligibility issue is like fighting an uphill battle against an entrenched enemy as we ignore the fact that we’re being overrun from all sides.
VERY MISLEADING TITLE
Her quote is opposite of headline, isn’t it?
the dirty trick operatives willl use every opportunity to drive a wedge between Palin, Bachmann and conservative voters. Misquotes, distortions and outright lies- fair game.
GP does need ot get OFF the birf ceryficate debate an dlet the wheels of juistice hablde htis behind the scenes unitl the truth is ready ot emerge.
GOP needs to hammer on the economy and useless wars, and the contempt of Congress and the *****potus***** for the people, aka “slugs”.
The msm is going to go nutzzer.
No do not “get off” the subject.
Our alleged president is an imposter. Get off the subject??
Yes she was talking in political code words
The birther nut are shaking like a dog passing peach seeds.
